After editing the if (count($this->zonesConfig) == 0) throw new Exception("Zones config is empty"); in the RemoteBind.php
file I did not have that issue, however my zones.include file is not being updated.
I made a path code change to the path for the client_zone in /var/scalr/app/cron/class.DNSManagerPollProcess.php, which now goes to /var/named/etc/namedb/client_zones path.
However my zones.include still will not get updated.
